Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1009 - 1005: Stopping

One stride covers a hundred meters; this is just the weakest ability brought by the Breaking Space Demon Device.

"You little brat!" The white-haired elder roared furiously, and his figure instantly became blurred.

Within a radius of a hundred meters, eight figures appeared at once, guarding each direction.

Eight hand seals gathered in the air and then suddenly expanded.

Leng Tieya felt a strong sense of danger and quickly stepped forward two steps, arriving two hundred meters away.

"Bang!"

An invisible force shook him flying again, and he spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

He shouted in the air, "Senior Brother Huang, you go first!"

Huang Daochu was drawing his sword and shooting towards the elder, the sword light was light and bright, like a clear autumn water.

He was clearly going all out.

But he knew that Huang Daochu was no match.

The gap between the Great Heavenly Demon Eighth Rank and Sixth Grade is equivalent to several decades or even two hundred years, which cannot be bridged by killing intent and will.

Even the martial skills of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace aren’t enough to erase this gap.

Huang Daochu chose to fight desperately to save his own life.

Leng Tieya suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart.

Originally, he thought both would escape separately and leave their fate to luck, and whoever the old man chased first would be unlucky.

But Huang Daochu did this, giving up his chance to escape, even though their friendship was quite ordinary.

He shook his head.

His original plan was to lure the elder to chase him, and at the critical moment, directly break the sky and leave, escaping alive, as he had the Breaking Space Demon Device.

In this way, Huang Daochu could also escape, which would be a happy ending for both.

But Huang Daochu’s actions disrupted his perfect plan, forcing him to fight desperately now.

The Breaking Space Demon Device couldn’t take Huang Daochu along with him to escape.

This is the difference between the Breaking Space Demon Device and the White Cloud Map.

The White Cloud Map could allow him to take companions into the Light Gate, but the Breaking Space Demon Device couldn’t.

It only recognized its owner and no one else, truly full of spiritual character.

"Ting..." The elder again struck Huang Daochu’s sword flying.

Huang Daochu followed and was knocked aside.

In the air, he made a gesture, and the flying Longsword shot back into his hand.

Leng Tieya chuckled.

This was evidently a Demon Sword, akin to the existence of a Demon Artifact.

Once it recognized its owner, it could be driven by thought, not just Demon Yuan.

"Hey, you little brat!" The white-haired elder sneered coldly, "I spared your life originally, now you’re seeking death!"

He changed his pursuit from Leng Tieya and shot towards Huang Daochu in the air.

Leng Tieya was helpless, he could only grab his Longsword and appear beside Huang Daochu, swinging the sword to meet the elder.

"Ting..." Leng Tieya’s Longsword was knocked flying again.

Leng Tieya used the momentum to fly towards the cave, shouting, "Senior Brother Huang, go quickly, I have my own methods!"

Huang Daochu ignored him and continued to swing his sword towards the elder.

"Seeking death!" The elder sneered while swinging his hand, transforming the hand seal into gold.

The golden hand seal seemed cast from gold, dazzling with golden light, drawing a line of golden light in the air.

Huang Daochu released a Red Pearl from his sleeve.

The dragon eye-sized red pearl was as crimson as blood, vibrant and eye-catching.

"Bang!" The Red Pearl exploded in the air, earth-shattering.

The elder was momentarily stunned by the shock.

Huang Daochu was also momentarily stunned and his body fell, just narrowly avoiding the golden hand seal.

The golden hand seal hesitated momentarily in the air.

Leng Tieya had already burrowed into the cave, appearing directly at the Xiao Gao Altar, moving the black altar and shooting it outside the cave.

He stood in the Void, holding the black altar, and shouted, "Stop!"

The elder had been watching Leng Tieya’s movements, seeing him holding the Filthy Soul Altar, frowned.

Leng Tieya chuckled, "You recognize this, right?"

"You recognize it?" The elder snorted.

Leng Tieya said, "Filthy Soul Altar, right? Smash it, and none of us can escape."

The elder retorted coldly, "Well, knowing is good, would you dare smash it?"

Leng Tieya smiled, "Why wouldn’t I dare? Our Great Heavenly Demon Palace experts are on the way. Even if we’re wiped out, the unfortunate one would be you!"

The elder snorted, "Our Ghost Bone Sect experts are also on the way!"

Leng Tieya replied, "Then let’s see who arrives quicker on both sides."

While speaking, he was about to smash the altar.

"Hold on!" The elder shouted.

Leng Tieya paused, smiling at him, "Won’t you take a gamble? Anyway, if we don’t gamble, it’s certain death, might as well bet everything on this."

"...You two, get lost." The elder said coldly, "Before I change my mind!"

Leng Tieya glanced at Huang Daochu.

Huang Daochu floated to his side, said in a deep voice, "Let’s go."

The Ghost Bone Flower has been destroyed, and the Great Sky Demon of the Ghost Bone Sect has arrived. Staying here any longer is useless.

To deal with this elder, neither Leng Tieya nor I can manage it. A first-class expert from the management level needs to take action personally.

But Zhu Qingzhi is not here. If Leng Tieya and I can retreat safely, it’ll be a great advantage.

Leng Tieya smiled and said, "Then I bid farewell, until we meet again!"

He held the black altar and floated away with Huang Daochu, gradually disappearing from the elder’s sight.

After floating three miles, Leng Tieya stopped and turned to Huang Daochu: "Senior Brother Huang..."

"No need to prattle," Huang Daochu waved his hand.

Leng Tieya was helpless: "Alright then."

Seeing he had no intention to continue forward, Huang Daochu said, "The two of us can’t handle him!"

Through the Soul Pearl, he had already informed Zhu Qingzhi of the situation here, but Zhu Qingzhi couldn’t come within a short time.

Leng Tieya said, "Let’s wait a moment and see what he’s up to."

He turned around and walked back.

With Super Sense, he saw the elder not immediately leaving but standing outside the cave, lost in thought.

This situation was unusual, which made Leng Tieya instantly vigilant.

Could there be something else in this cave that I haven’t discovered?

The Super Sensing Illumination scanned every part of this peak.

I have already dismantled its patterns and crushed every Ghost Bone Flower and skull inside the cave, including the Ghost Bone Flower and skull on the small high altar.

The only thing left untouched is this black altar.

The black altar gave me the most dangerous feeling; apart from that, there was nothing else unusual.

Huang Daochu shook his head helplessly.

"Senior Brother Huang, if you leave first, I can actually escape too," Leng Tieya said.

Huang Daochu said, "That doesn’t align with my principles."

"When will Manager Zhu arrive?"

"At least one hour."

"...Senior Brother Huang, you go greet Manager Zhu first, and I’ll go see this old man."

"Are you sure it’s alright?"

"He wouldn’t dare act recklessly," Leng Tieya said. "Especially with you not by my side, he’d dare even less."

After a brief contemplation, Huang Daochu understood the intention.

Indeed, my absence is more intimidating than my presence.

Once the Filthy Soul Altar is shattered, all living beings within several miles lose their minds or even fall into a deep coma.

Great Sky Demons are no exception.

This is the terrifying nature of the Filthy Soul Altar.

I will be ten miles away; once Leng Tieya signals just before he destroys it, I’ll wait a moment and then rush over to eliminate the elder.

Leng Tieya didn’t rush to approach but took his time and even stopped two miles away.

The elder stood with hands behind his back on the cliff, facing into the wind, with a fierce and solemn expression.

After a quarter of an hour, four elders appeared in front of him simultaneously.

Leng Tieya became increasingly puzzled.

The cultivation of these four elders was only at the Heavenly Demon level, possibly just Fifth Grade Heavenly Demons.

Apparently, their talents were quite ordinary.

Judging by their vitality, their lifespan was nearing its end, and they wouldn’t live much longer.

However, he didn’t underestimate these four elders.

Compared to those at the First Grade Heavenly Demon level, they were less afraid of death and more likely to become death soldiers, willingly facing death.

The Great Sky Demon was beyond their reach, and having completely given up, they were not as resentful.

They had struggled as much as they could; chasing the Great Sky Demon could only be left for another lifetime.

"Elder."

The four elders approached, bowing in salute.

The elder, with white eyebrows and beard, slowly swept his gaze over them and sighed, "Have you thought it through?"

"Elder, we are ready!"

"Elder, there’s no need to hesitate any longer!"

"In the next life, we only wish to be disciples of the Ghost Bone Sect again!"

"You are heroes of our Ghost Bone Sect. Your souls will be summoned back, and in the next life, you’ll return to the Ghost Bone Sect to continue cultivating the Ghost Bone Undying Scripture!"

"Yes!"

The elder, with white eyebrows and beard, raised his head and looked at the sky.

He took a small black stone from his bosom and tossed it into the sky.

The small black stone grew with the wind, and upon landing, became a pitch-black small high altar.

Leng Tieya’s expression changed slightly.

This small black high altar was almost identical to the small high altar inside the cave.

Are they preparing for a sacrifice?!

He looked at the black altar in his hand with a solemn expression.

With his body flashing, he charged towards them.

Suddenly, the elder with white eyebrows and beard turned around and saw Leng Tieya in the air shattering the black altar.
